Before you, I was doing my best, before you, I was still a mess
Wanderin' 'round this town, didn't have a clue, before you
I don't have to say, I'm not perfect, babe
You already know, and you love me just the same

Before you, my heart was running on Empty
Before you, I was drowning in an ocean of lonely
Now I look to something higher, walk straight through the fire
No, there ain't nothin' I won't do
To be the man I wanna be for you

Letting go of the things in my past, all the heartbreaks holding me back
Was trying to find my own way to something new, then in walked you
I can't count the times that you've helped me through
I thank God for you, you made me living proof

'Cause before you, my heart was running on Empty
Before you, I was drowning in an ocean of lonely
Now I look to something higher, walk straight through the fire
No, there ain't nothin' I won't do
To be the man I wanna be for you

Before you, my heart was running on Empty
Before you, I was drowning in an ocean of lonely
Now I look to something higher, walk straight through the fire
No, there ain't nothin' I won't do
To be the man I wanna be for you
To be the man I wanna be for you
